Experiences with bridging from RPN to RN in Ontario

World Canada

Published

I would love to hear about experiences from anyone who has or has considered bridging from RPN to the BScN in Ontario (I'm in Ottawa). Specifically anyone who started out with only the basic math and sciences to get into RPN. What math and sciences did you need in order to bridge? Did you manage working while obtaining the needed prerequisites? Did you find it very difficult? How long did you work as an RPN before bridging. Did you have a goal to eventually bridge to RN but decided not to and why?

Thanks!

Nipissing U offers a distance on-line blended learning program for RPN to RN which is part-time and can be done in as little as 3-5 years, while working at an approved health care agency in the city of your choice. Minimum 3.0 or 70% required based on RPN transcript alone. I'm not too sure that you need any more than a 3.0 to get in since it's online. But I suppose it would't hurt to find out by contacting them.:cool:

Yes, I should have mentioned that I'm in the full-time program. Admission is much more flexible for part-time.
